President Uhuru Holds First Campaign Rally Hours After Nullification of His Victory
President Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday wasted no time and went back to the campaign trail hours after the nullification of his re-election by the Supreme Court.
Accompanied by Deputy President William Ruto, Uhuru addressed a rally at Kamukunji’s Burma Market on Friday evening where he called on Kenyans to come out and take part in a fresh election.
Speaking to Burma market traders, the President pledged to have the market refurbished beginning next week.
The Head of State threw jabs at the Supreme Court Judges who ruled in favor of Raila Odinga in the presidential petition earlier in the day.
"I am no longer president-in-waiting. I am now firmly in power. Maraga is now dealing with a seating president," he said
Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen and Nairobi County Governor Mike Sonko, who both also accompanied the president, claimed the four judges had been bribed into overturning the will of the people.
Majority leader in the National Assembly Aden Duale said that Jubilee will beat Nasa with an even bigger margin.
The President thanked Kenyans for ensuring that his party carried the day and asked Kenyans to maintain peace.
A fresh election must be held within 60 days, the Supreme Court ordered in the ruling on Friday.

Kifaranga, eti umesema "turundi" kwa "ndembe"? Mwenzangu kutoka Nyeri hunipa kicheko akitamka "Shilomba" (Chiloba) na ""Shembukati" (Chebukati). Heri sisi wasepere tunajaribu kuongea lugha. Wajaka hio lugha wameihepa kabisa. Lakini wanaojaribu, hunichekesha wakitamka sida(shida) na mandas(mandazi).

I supported Uhuru as a lesser of two evils. I was quite shocked by the ruling but accepted the ruling. Me thinks someone was set up for what's coming in two months. He will have to abide by the same court that he vilified but gave him temporal reprieve.

If Uhuru wants to win the second election, he must stay away from alcohol and quit scratching his ass in public ... it was embarrassing to see him threatening the CJ while drunk and scratching his behind ... Uhuru, pliz sober up for 60 days ... then drink yourself silly.

This man's (uhuru) eyes are always "red." Does he take illegal drugs provided by his buddy he supported to run for the governorship of Nairobi?
His teeth are brown and stained. Does he smoke cigarettes or marijuana?
If he does, he is not fit to be the president of Kenya! I just remembered that during the campaign, I saw him with a mug of beer drinking in public. I therefore conclude that he is an alcoholic!
